I live my life by the saying "you can only control what you can control," so this is the first step into a new world that I control. And. It's. Fucking. UGLY". The album is primarily a southern hip-hop and trap album. Paste compared JID's rapping style to that of OutKast, with his quick, energetic, and smooth lines that frequently change flow.
